Interestingly, green seas in the ocean, capture a lot more carbon than rainforests. A great example are the vast seagrass prairies off of the western coasts of Australia, which stretch for thousands of kilometers.
They capture 35 times more CO2 than a same sized plot of rainforest. [ http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/carbon-capture-and-storage3a-seagrasses-do-it-for-free/6880064 ]
Of course through ocean acidification and temperature increases, as well as the decimation of predators such as sharks, these seagrass prairies are now beginning their swift demise as well.

Algae Lamps
Designed by French biochemist Pierre Calleja, these lamps are actually powered by algae. In one year, a single lamp can absorb as much CO₂ as a tree can take in during its entire lifetime!

Aisa Mijeno, a engineer and co-founder of SALt (short for Sustainable Alternative Living), has invented a new type of lamp that produce eight hours of light on only one cup of salt water. This lamp was developed especially for places like the Philippines, where there is a lack of access to electricity and high usage of kerosene lamps.
The battery for this lamp contains two electrodes which are submerged in an electrolyte solution, or in this case the salt water. The use of saltwater is particularly convenient for places near oceans, as the salinity of the ocean water is compatible with the electrode battery.
Mijeno’s solution is easy, as it only requires two tablespoons of salt and one cup of water, which are much more affordable resources compared to kerosene. In addition, they don’t produce any harmful pollutants and use renewable resources.

Biological evolution created all life on earth, constantly adapting everything to their ever-changing environments, and it's been doing this thankless job for over three billion years.
(My goodness, it even turned dog-otters into whales)
So instead of revolution, trying to "intelligent design" our way to Utopia, we could learn from evolution, the natural process that made all of us in the first place.
